Most speedos register under though, meaning when the speedo says a 100km they are doing 95km or similar, hence you find people going way under the limit when they have these 4km limits. That's why we set Cruise Control to the speed our GPS gives :D |

Best one I heard was a maoris woman a few years ago speeding in a borrowed HQ with speedo in MPH and she trying to get up to what she thought was 100kph. Now thats an excuse. |

Now thats an excuse. yeah thats a good excuse! was with dad a month or 2 back in a 1975 Caddilac Coupe DeVille with a hilariously huge 8.2L V8 was just ticking along for a while and i looked at the speedo - needle at 100, ok thats fine - feels a bit fast for 100kmh but it is a yank tank any speed is fast then 10 seconds i realize "wait... yank tank... yank tank... MPH!" "uhh dad, you're doing 160kmh!" "oh shi-!" so he hit the brakes and about 5km later we managed to slow down to 60MPH ;) |
